Quantitative biology opens trail to ecological exploration, evolutionary prediction

One of the best studied topics of molecular biology is bacterial chemotaxis-the movement of bacterial cells in response to chemical stimuli. While scientists at UC San Diego thought they—and the science community in general—knew everything there was to know about how and why bacterial cells moved around, they were surprised to realize how little they understood about how bacteria moved around as a group. New findings on this latest research are published as rare back-to-back articles in Nature, Nov. 6, 2019.
